That committee, if appointed, is going to have ans> interesting time. It will have' two-questions to an swer. What is a uniform, living . al lowance? Is Hie're such a- th(ng? First of all, what is a ‘^living al lowance” —; or , a “living ' wage?” Qpinions differ, One. says it is. an allowance,, or a wage sufficient to keep ,th'e recipient and his family, -if j any, in necessary food, clothing and shelter. Another objects; that that, isl not enough; that there should be pro vision enabling-the recipient not only, to support himself and family but to ja.y„Ky. a ..reserve.'against .the time,., when he quits' this, mortal' e.xistence ' or is unable to work (the latter appli- ' es to wage-; but the principle is the. same). . • ' Theft what ■ is “adequate?’! And this .introduces the - much-discussed phrase, ' “standard of living,” for to b’e adequate, the allowance must enable, the recipient to maintain h'is standard of .living. Which dif fers, widely hi different countries and, evep in’ different parts of the same1 country. ' The standard" of living in 'ay,small village,- where ^the inhabitants have’to draw water from wells and carry -lanterns When they go out at night, is necessarily lower than- .that-in a city ‘with waterworks and street lights.
